Description
We are Polly and Andy. We are part of a blended family with 5! kids but have every other week 'off'! We have just bought a fairly large farmhouse to renovate and want to make it happen without having to take many years to complete. We love to be outside and having fun rather than sitting inside. We do a lot of different sports and love walking, cycling, sea swimming, SUP, surfing, kayaking, and gardening! We are pretty relaxed and like to meet new people,

What else ...
We are just 10 minutes from Quimper, and near other historic towns such as Locronan and Concarneau . A 20km off-road mountain bike trail passes by our driveway in Landudal. The footpath at the end of our driveway leads directly to La Stangala Forest Park and Gorges on the river Odet. We spend a lot of time at our holiday home 30 minutes away on the coast near the fishing village of Douarnenez where there are a lot of water sports available, as well as coastal paths, forest walks and cycling. We are also near the Crozon peninsula where i often work, and here there is stunning coastal scenery and many surf and kiting spots. There are trains and buses available locally and we travel to Quimper most days.
